Hey everyone, just joined the forum. Im a big fan of forums (own one myself) for my sports and hobbies. Always a great place to share and get info, first hand accounts, etc.

Ive been skiing since 2010, more or less self taught and going out with friends who are more experienced. I started skiing up at Jiminy Peak in MA. I lived about 35 mins away in NY for two years so I was able to go after work 1-2 days a week during the season. I guess I learned by simply putting time in. Now I live back in NJ and cant ski as often but try and get out at least every other week once we have decent snow. I ski Blue Mtn in PA as its the closest or take trips to NY and VT.

Just got a "new to me" pair of Nordica Soul Riders and im trying more and more stuff in the park. Small to medium jumps, boxes, learning to ski switch (which is why I got twin tips). Much better skis all around than my cheap Head C120s. So yea, still a rather new skier but can ski most slopes out here in the east when its not pure ice and land some jumps. Working on advanced techniques around the mountain and stepping up my park game. Trying freestyle at 27 might not be the best idea but its fun and hopefully not too painful!

Tom

It's not any more or less painful....the only difference is recouperation time.

Not new to this site, just changed things up a bit with a new handle.

I am Mark and I like to ski, snowboard, XC Ski and snowshoe. Also ride quite a bit, road, mountain, commute, gravel, and SSCX.

Also play chauffeur to my son who is visually impaired and skis on the Stride Adaptive Sports Ski Race Team. I have another son who skis, too, so with the boys, we usually go to Ski Sundown, but for race practice it's every Saturday at Jiminy.
